Hey do any of you know or know of a working SBC kernel. I know it has caused issues with some people but I have had very good luck on my EVO with it. Seems to me that my battery is suffering pretty bad now that I have rooted and used a new rom.
Thanks.
I'm not entirely sure what an SBC kernel is but i do know there are a couple of tweaked Sense kernels floating around this forum. Iirc, the newSENSE kernel should be stable enough for all 2.1 Sense based ROMs (don't quote me on that though).
What ROM are you currently running? Also, are you on the stock kernel or a custom one?
I think the only SBC kernel is Tiamat.

That I know of there are no SBC Sense Kernels for the Shift. If your having really bad Battery drain, you may want to look at what's going on with your system. You may have a Rogue app, or a bad wake lock. I would definitely check into that. Also if you want to know more about Kernels before you flashing one. You can check the Links below.

SBC stands for Superior Battery Charging.
Cool I will take a look I was running Supreme Sense and it seems to drain the battery super fast like I can't get a whole day out of it, I will check and see if something strange is going on with it.

What does cpu spy show? You can download anytime and it will tell you how long the processor was at a certain speed. Also when running overclocked that will chew up your battery pretty good, the kernel is undervolted to try to improve battery life while holding faster speeds, but it dont always work

Another thing to keep in mind is what Apps you have Syncing, and how often. For example Facedbook is a notorious battery killer. I also run Supreme Sense. On average I get between 12-14hrs out of a charge. As strapped mentioned, being OC'd very high will also eat up the battery. What Governor, and Scheduler are you using?

Never really had any interest in SBC Kernels. But since this is the fourth post I've seen in about three days. I became interested, in finding out the advantages of SBC Kernels vs Non-SBC Kernels. The only things I've definitively found out are that, SBC Kernels offer more of a chance for problems if you do not know what your doing. The other is that there is a lot of debate as to the advantages of running an SBC Kernel.

SBC stands for Superior Battery Charging. You can check out THIS thread for some info. Also the thread HERE has some more info.
EDIT: Just more info HERE.
I used an SBC kernel on the OG EVO for a bit and found a sight improvement with battery life. But the mentality (after doing lots of reading on SBC) of the damage it could be doing ,I ended up removing it real quick. Just freaked me out.
Some people claim to never have problems and some reports have come for exploding phones. Crazy debates.

I know what your saying. Huge debates back and forth whether it's worth running it or not. Some people swear by it. Others say stay the he'll away from it. I just flashed an SBC Kernel on the Test EVO4G to see what the deal is. But honestly it better be pretty Freaking awesome. Because running the Loinfish or Anthrax Kernel on the OG EVO easily will get you a day plus on one charge.

DON'T USE THE ROM, IT IS OUTDATED AND HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED!
DO NOT USE THE "PUV" (Pinky UnderVolt) VERSION, IT WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE TO GET STUCK AT THE SPLASHSCREEN! (POSSIBLY)
I DID NOT MAKE THIS KERNEL, I'M JUST POSTING IT HERE FOR YOU ALL.
THIS IS NOT FOR ANY OTHER ROMS BESIDES CM7 (AND CM7-BASED ROMS) AND MIUI, SO DON'T ASK!
I'm using the UUV CFS version. It is very fast and smooth, I urge you not to have an OC past 1.3GHz as a daily driver, unless you want horrible battery life.
Any option below PUV is safe (UUV, -50mV, and -25mV all work, but every device varies).

lol, iffy kernal. especially with two versions available, its kinda strange testing them and seeing whats best for your phone. flashed the cfs version, and as expected, things seemed evenly smother throughout the phone, yet even at 1.99, there was nothing special or over the top about performance. also, i had a very strange, completely indescribable hiccup after booting.
EDIT
tried the bfs version, and still nothing special. maybe its just me and my miui rom. the 1.99 is cool, but i think im just gunna stay away from this.
Been running his kernels for a couple of weeks, no issues. It is nice to be able to choose from different undervolt versions. Helps battery life a little, around 5%-10% in my experience.
NikolaiT, just FYI this kernel works with Ultimate Droid, which is based on CM7. In case you want to update the OP.

Careful, the PUV version softbricked my device. Easily fixable through reflashing your ROM or just a new kernel.
It may not brick yours because some devices can handle it, some can't.

I've been using it for a while now. At the moment I'm using the latest CFS -25 UV version @ 1305 with the scaling set to Intelligent Donkey (lol) and I actually made it an entire day without charging. That's saying a lot for someone that gets about 12 hours max on a charge.

I'm currently pulling two days at 64% with the same kernel but my CPU settings are 122 min - 1075 max.
So what's everyone recommendations for the best version of this Kernel in terms of both optimum battery and performance?
Additionally... what kinds of CPU governors and max-min frequencies are you using? I've seen a few post what their using in this thread, but I'd like to get some more opinions.
I've been using this Kernel for a few weeks now with no issues. The UUV had some slight hesitation when scrolling so now I'm running 4.3 CFS with the -50 UV and it's absolutely perfect. Fantastic battery life running at 122/1305 MHz with the -50 UV.
i'm using 4.2 and I didn't flash any scripts... is the default -25UV? I'm gonna try 4.3 and -50 script later tonight.
quick question to the group: what is eating up your battery? mine, oddly enough is cell standby and phone idle. i'm using stock radio. in the past (on froyo builds), it's always been screen time.

maybe all of you missed the whole miui thing. it says it works great with miui, but my phone seemed very buggy after switching from cattleprods kernel, but you tested it on very different roms than me. it addition, my quadrant score were crap on both types, cfs and bfs, which is completely contrary to the description of one over the other. so yes iffy.
Can anyone explain the difference between the scheduler flavors? I use cfs, but bfq or io?

Check these two posts: Post 1, Post 2. Looks like BFQ is the standard scheduler and VIO is quicker on paper (kind of like BFS vs CFS).
Thanks for the explanation. The bfqhs seems much smoother than the io. I am running it with the uuv.
Why are you guys putting out so many roms and kernels, I can hardly get any "real" work done on my phone because I'm too busy testing out every new version of every new rom/kernel that comes out. Come on! I need some sleep to.
Well frankly I prefer a buffet where I can choose what I want rather than being told what to eat.

I just got my thunderbolt and I wanna root my phone and overclock it safely to 1.6g. So, which kernel would you recommend? BTW I AM A BIT OF A NOOB!! so please try and keep the terms as "noob friendly" as possibly haha. Thanks guys!
leanKernel supports 1.92 and BAMF will do up to 1.4, I believe.
Do you want sense? Run Perfect Storm roms with bamf kernel.
Do you want aosp? Run cyanogen with imoseyon aosp kernel.
Do you want sense removed? Run blackhole with bamf kernel.
OC to 1.92 I don't suggest, my phone locks up at that speed. OC to 1.4 stable.

I'm stock, rooted, running bang 4.4.5 kernel, and get 24+hrs from my extended battery (a must-have) might be weird, but I like Sense...
OK, so here's a (useful?) question/request to all you ROM addicts (I am not one, unfortunately!):
Is there (it would be nice if there was) a comparison of ALL kernels and ROMs to see which gets the best battery life on their Thunderbolt?
This would, obviously, have to be done by one person trying out different combinations of kernels and ROMs, as everyone has different usage patterns (and different batteries!! --each battery, it seems, behaves differently).
But I think it would be very helpful for many of us folks to have a good, consistent, complete, at least somewhat accurate comparison, as the battery issue seems to be probably the single largest issue affecting the most people with the TB.
Anyone?
Why do you need to overlook to 1.6? For being a noob, that's rather aggressive

It's not that he's not qualified. A known issue is that some of the phone's can't support some of the features of other kernels so the phones won't boot. I started a thread about this and Faux chimed in affirming what I thought. It's a fault in the chip. Some can OC/UV, some can't.

I have not as the overclocking was not as big of an issue as undervolting was for me. I cant get a single of fauxs kernels to run etx/GB/FR thats does oc/uv but the stock one does it just fine thats goes 1.0sv/1.2oc. the whole reason why i am confused though is i flashed morfics trinity kernel thats oc/uv at the same rate 1.1uv/1.5oc and it loads perfectly fine on my phone. Setcpu sees the standard at 1.1ghz max on autodetect, howeer i have not tried overclocking to anything more than that as i do not have any experience with making the textfile for setcpu to overclock it manually. im going to work on this soon but im hoping someones already made and posted this elsewhere on xda =D
PS: im on a computer this time and ill say this is better than my blackberry who decided to autocorrect "heterosexual" in place of "hey" everytime i tried talking to one of my friends but glad its good for laughs lol

As far as I can tell, the Ziggy kernel in the latest Gingeritis3D is the smoothest. Might be something newer in the synergy ROM, but I'm getting good battery life and things are nearly lag-free.
I am running OMFGB right now, and while I do prefer AOSP roms, the battery life isn't great. I have an extended battery so the battery life for me isn't an issue.
I agree with the previous post in regards to Gingeritis 3D. I had version VII installed, deleted almost all sense out with Tibu and used ADW EX. It was nice having some sense, lockscreen, pulldown, but that was all I really liked about sense. I oc'd to 1.4 and thought it ran great with excellent battery life.

I haven't messed with uberBAMF yet. I understand it's a work in progess. I'm not sure what kernel it uses, but it might be worth giving a go. I'd love to think it's NOT a Ziggy or Imoseyon kernel just because I think Sense kernels NEED a LOT more attention.
im going to stick to bamf ginger remix until the theory 1.3x rom goes final. the newest ziggy kernel in synergy isn't very good imo, very laggy. i just extracted the gingeritis one and it's a kernel build from july, it's one of the better ziggy kernels. you know, the one from my thread that was removed. ill stick to it for the time being.
i just wish there were more stable aosp roms. no offense to cm7 or the devs, it's just not 100% yet and the battery life is ****, at least for me.

The Ziggy's in Gingeritis3D is different than the Ziggy's in the older Gingeritis. The clock settings and smartass parameters are different. I think part of the reason that Ziggy kernel is as lagy as it is sometimes is because of his smartass governor parameters. I think if they were tweaked to be a little less stingy the phone might be much snappier. As it is, that kernel seems VERY reluctant to creep past 1 GHz, like the load requirement for stepping up is fairly high. I think it's ramp down is just a little too aggressive, and the period of load polling too long as well.

I'm not sure it is. I know that one didn't go up to 2GHz. It's definitely a similar build. The up_threshold on the smartass on that one you extracted seemed even more aggressive than this one. I had issues typing with it if I set the min_freq too low. I run this one at 122MHz without a problem.
Edit: Actually, I'm sure it's not. The one you extracted didn't have the camera fix for the new base Chingy used for beta 6 and 7.

Wouldn't be surprised knowing how he works.
I would recommend trying the uber bamf preview 3. I tested out preview 1 and it was by far the smoothest feeling ROM I've used and it also gave me the greatest battery life I've ever had on my Thunderbolt. They've fixed a few bugs since preview 1 so I'm sure it's even better now. It includes a stock kernel by the way.
You may also want to try the latest nightly Synergy ROM, it's what I'm on now. Performance has been pretty good and battery is okay. I have SetCPU at 1344/245 with lagfree.

not a huge fan of synergy, i may give uber a whirl.
Go back to the stock released ROM (rooted, if you prefer to make things easier). That should be the baseline for everything.

Then quit'yer'*****in. Throw a bunch of modified stuff into the mix, and you get what you pay for.

WTF? You for real?

okay soo i started off loving my tbolt. i ran bamf ginger remix for months without issues. i then changed to aosp and while i prefer it, many bugs and bad battery life are keeping me away.
so i went back to bamf and while i feel at home, i get alot of lag no matter what kernel i use. i need some advice on what to do and what rom is the fastest/lag free with the best kernel combo.
im dying here guys.
as far as setcpu settings i usually use ondemand or interactive no higher than 1228/245.

Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?
Currently on CM7 nightly 199, wondering which kernel I should use.. Has anyone here tried both?
Have you read teh last 5-10 ish pages from each kernel? Theres your feedback. All the phones are a little different, you have to try them out and see how they work for your phone.

Really man? You make it sound like this guy is wrong for wanting a little feedback.

I've tried both and on CM7 Nightly 199, I prefer morfic's Trinity kernel. For a while he didn't have the SOD patch like faux123 did, but now that he does I'm back on his kernel. I use the ELP kernel and I like his philosophy of "less is more".
Plus his kernels have CM7 CPU settings support, which I like since I prefer not to use 3rd party CPU apps, though I am currently enjoying Pimp My CPU a lot with all of its updates.
Thanks for the insight! I think I might flash Trinity. Is battery life better/the same as stock? I definetly dont wanna flash if its gonna be worse.

I believe both Trinity and faux123's kernel give better battery life, though I've never stayed with the CM7 kernel very long to know to what extent.
I have to agree with all the others. Both kernels tend to give slightly better performance with better battery life. I tend to lean more towards the Trinity kernel because the CPU adjustments can be modified through the CM settings.
I only say that for issues that crop up with people who post on that thread, and have not read this thread. I wasn't being mean or anything, you can get opinions here for sure, you can just view more detailed bugs or current issues on the thread itself. Maybe I was a little short, in wich I'm sorry... but I have tried both and my opinions will differ most likely in comparison to the way his phone will react to each kernel.
Wasn't trying to come off as an ass =) sorry if i did. that's just what I do to view day to day current updates/bugs.
But I can say I used to use trinity t11 that worked wonderfully, then I had issues and bugs on the new ones (t15 and betas) so now I'm on faux's ds version and I get a good battery life now.

That's true, if you want voodoo sound, stick with faux123's kernel. If you look at morfic's thread though, it's probably coming back to his fairly soon thanks to supercurio.
